Sorry if it seemed smug. It is really just angry.
You've missed the point a little, Frederick - why would I mentioned the
Kurds gassed by Saddam Hussein if I was just on about America? And my PM

are, and whether we like it or not.
Reading FBI and CIA reports on terrorism from the 80s (Reagan's era) is
however quite interesting.
